Ligurians

The Ligurians were a barbaric tribe that flourished in Liguria, with their capital at Segesta in northwestern Italy near the border with modern-day France. The Ligurians were a Gallic tribe that raided into the Roman Republic in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, but they were brought to heel by a military campaign by Quintus Julius in 270 BCE, with their capital's populace exterminated and their warbands defeated.
